COtransit
COtransit
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) piloted an app called COtransit to enable regional transit coordination and collaboration with transit providers who are part of the Colorado transit system. COtransit leveraged real-time General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) travel data sourced from rural transit providers across Colorado. This pilot lasted from July to October 2026 when the COtransit app was sunset.
Overview of the Project
Purpose:
-
Developed and built a centralized COtransit that enabled greater use of the statewide transit by connecting rural and urban transit providers
-
Utilized General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data for trip planning, dispatching, and online ticketing in real-time for Colorado Transit providers (especially rural providers), in-state passengers, and out-of-state visitors.
Needs and Solution:
-
Allowed the public to seamlessly connect from one transit system to another in Colorado
-
Developed an easy-to-use app that allows the public to plan their entire trip and pay online, and also supported coordination and data sharing between local transit providers.
